I need some help. My g grandfather Elvin L. Sanders has been very elusive in my search. But what is worst is the disappearance of Mary E. Dement, his wife. According to the 1910 census. He (I am not sure she) was living in the Merced County area. There was a birth of a Male child on Nov 9th 1910. But we have no information of him. I would like to know if she died about that time if she is buried there. Any kind of records will help. His name was originally spelt as Saunders. It could be under that as well. In his Obit, she is never mentioned and he is buried by himself in Turlock Calif. I have been to his grave and know this to be true. Again, any information would indeed be helpful in solving this mystery. Sincerely Kirk Gruenewald kirkj2@juno.com
